    How to save 20gal of oversweet IPA

    I brewed 20 gal a few weekends ago and during my mash the temperature overran. I was unfortunately not watching it so I can't say the exact timeline of things but it blew past its intended mash temp of 155. I run a 3 vessel spike herms system and my inkbird overheated and got stuck in the ON...
